'North Korea is a rogue nation which has become a great threat and embarrassment to China, which is trying to help but with little success.
'South Korea is finding, as I have told them, that their talk of appeasement with North Korea will not work, they only understand one thing!'
That came as US and South Korean officials agreed to make a military response to the detonation of the bomb, which occurred shortly after midnight EST on Sunday, 'as soon as possible'.
The 100 kiloton bomb - which is so powerful that it could vaporize an entire city - caused an earthquake measuring 6.3 on the nine-point Richter Scale.
